a 21 monther

too much to write... she's just changing daily, i can't keep up with all the newness!  here's a snippet:

• loves, LOVES, LOVES chasing pigeons in all public spaces
• instead of saying just "no" now, she says "no way jose", but it sounds like "no way hoseeeee"
• when asked "what did you dream about last night?" she thinks, and shakes her head while responding, "milk!"  
• tried to reach for the clock on top of the DOM cathedral in trier... saying "touch clock?"
• always wants to hold hands and walk with other kids
• loves hide and seek, always cheats and hides in the same spot, counts, "8, 9, 10!"
• finally got her first toe painting... anne did just the big toes red and then lela and i just redid all of them hot pink
• after crying/whining hysterically and watching for my reaction, she got distracted, stopped, and said, "lela crying."  i said "yes, you are.  why?"  she thinks for a second... and responds, "WHY not?"  i just die with laughter... and she joins in.
